Authorities said in a release that officers were called to the Create and Bake Restaurant and Coughman’s Creamery on Duluth Highway on Wednesday to a report of burglary in progress.
Officers later went into the business and found graffiti including swastikas, “MAGA” and racist terms like “monkey” and the N-word spray-painted on the walls, among other damage.
